a great place to sit

BUMBO!!!!! Has there ever been a greater invention?? Boy-oh-boy did that thing get a work out in our house! Claire was always a pretty strong baby, so as soon as she could hold her head up by herself, into the Bumbo she went.

 

almost 3 months old, trying out her Bumbo for the first time

 





We used it EVERYWHERE and for everything. It was her highchair, her play seat, her outdoor lounger, and generally just a place where she could sit and take in the world around her. Why am I speaking in past tense though? Well, her fabulously chunky baby legs just got to be too much for Bumbo. In other words - she would get stuck! You'd pick up baby, and Bumbo would accompany. Bumbo's dash ended shortly after Christmas.

Another great thing about this product is just how durable it is. I actually bought this from a friend second hand for $10 (score!!!), and I intend to lend to a friend in a couple of months time for her little lady to use, and when she outgrows it, I'll reclaim it and store it ready to use again for our next baby (who is not yet on the way, but we do intend to have another bubba some day).

Can I just add here as a disclaimer, that yes, in these photos Claire is on a table/bench, which Bumbo advises not to do, however, at NO TIME EVER EVER EVER EVER was she left unsupervised. She was always watched and as safe as she could possibly be.

Can I also say, that in my first post I wrote that I was going to hopefully be posting awesome photos, however, so far this has not been the case. They have mostly been fairly average in my opinion, so I hope you don't feel like I've let you down. I think that rather than being 'awesome' I shall say they are 'authentic'. How's that?


Love,
